We aren't going to see -8 rails fitting under a stock intake manifold so while I won't argue that it could be an alternate fix, it's not an option for the typical VQ. (BTW I know of a 370 with custom manifold and -8 rails and it's suffering rail resonance hesitations). My kits on the DE all used -6 Aeromotive regulators which I find appropriately sized for the general walbro 255 that the majority of customers use. I personally tried different fuel pressures in my 350z to no remedy. Having to make new rails was the last thing I wanted to do as i had concerns of being overwhelmed with people asking for replacements.
I'd go out on a limb and say that I doubt most race cars have them because they don't spend much time at those RPM/load sites where it causes hesitation. It is my opinion that there are probably many people suffering of the resonance and completely unaware as they probably credit it to tuning or other issue.

Good post it did a lot to back up your arguments, I understand the point of dampeners and i don't disagree with you on them, just that not every car needs them to perform and drive well. Also since if they happen it is at a point when the engine usually isn't getting a lot of boost and so low in the range that to a lot of people even if they notice it, it really isn't even that big of a problem, to some it is, hell the factory traction control is WAY more annoying.
